Editing Albatoss

|comparable=[[Condrop]]<br>[[Goonie]]

'''Albatosses''' are bird enemies that appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and its {{wp|Western world|Western}} counterpart, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They fly with [[Bob-omb]]s in their talons and drop them when a player character is below. The enemy's English name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|albatross}}" and "toss," which refers to its attack method.

 

====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''====

In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Albatosses used to be normal residents of [[Subcon]] until [[Wart]] took control.<ref name="engmanual">{{cite|quote=He used to only be a resident in the world of dreams. Now, by order of Wart, he works as a carrier of Bob-Ombs.|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet|page=25|date=1988|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo}}</ref> Albatosses carry [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]]s and drop them, attempting to hit one of the playable characters: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], or [[Toad]]. An Albatoss can be defeated if the player's character throws a [[vegetable]] at it or touches it under the [[Super Star|Starman]] effects. Unlike most other enemies, Albatosses cannot be picked up and thrown. If an Albatoss flies low enough, the character can [[jump]] on its back and ride on it. [[World 6-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-2]] and [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 7-1]] require the player's character to ride Albatosses to reach otherwise inaccessible parts of the [[level]]; these Albatosses do not carry Bob-Ombs.

In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', Albatosses move at two frames, while in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', they move at seven frames; an eighth frame exists, showing the wings moving back upwards, but is unused due to a [[glitch]].<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Bros._2_(NES)#Eighth_Animation_Frame|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' {{!}} TCRF article|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor}}</ref> The ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' remakes restore the missing frame.

====''Super Mario All-Stars'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====

An Alabatoss makes a cameo appearance in both the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where the [[kings|king]] of [[Sky Land|The Sky]] is turned into an Albatoss; in the original version, he is turned into a regular bird.

Albatosses are featured in the following episodes:

 

In ''[[King Koopa's Kool Kartoons]]'', an Albatoss would deliver mail to King Koopa's character.<ref>{{cite|date=June 21, 2022|timestamp=01:31|url=youtu.be/KJh7L2YiRXk?t=91|title= King koopa’s kool kartoons Compilation|publisher=YouTube|author=The cush and chef monkey Show|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</ref> The Albatoss was a brown bird prop dangled with strings to simulate it flying.
